About the Property

The Tejon Ranch Commerce Center is a 20 million square foot state-of-the-art commercial/industrial development on Interstate 5 just north of the Los Angeles basin.

About the Location

The Tejon Ranch Commerce Center is located about an hour north of the San Fernando Valley, very near the geographic and population center of California, providing the ability to reach more than 40 million people with next-day delivery and 70 million in two days, with the shortest average distance to major population centers in the western U.S.

Its land and leasing costs are much lower than other major commercial/industrial regions in California, often half the cost or more.

The Commerce Center sits on both sides of Interstate 5, giving distributors immediate access to the west coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor, and an easy connection via State Highway 58 to both the I-15 and I-40 east-west corridors.

The Commerce Center’s location in unincorporated Kern County gives companies the opportunity to take advantage of the County’s aggressive new economic incentive program. Kern County offers individually tailored performance-based tax revenue sharing opportunities with NO CAP on the amount of the incentive or the duration it’s offered. It’s currently the only major logistics location in Kern County eligible for the incentive.

"The Tejon Ranch distribution center is strategically located to serve our supply chain needs as we continue to expand westward. From its central location, our supply chain team can deliver goods to stores in northern and southern California in a day.”

John Flanigan, Executive Vice President of Global Supply Chain, Dollar General
